Mubi India has selected Bangladeshi director Humayra Bilkis’ short documentary “I am yet to See Delhi” for its weekly round-up of curated streaming recommendations for this week.
The film bagged the ‘Special Mention by Jury’ at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, Japan in 2015.
“In Delhi to study film, “I” listens for the breath of its residents on the streets, in the markets, outside the mosques, and at the tourist sites. Dissolving into these her own thoughts and feelings in the process, she makes the city resonate for us,” reads the film synopsis.
“It is a film about an outsider in the city. She visits Delhi for a year to study filmmaking. Apart from her class work, her lonely existence forces her to encounter questions on identity and self on a register of time that is both contemporary and historical,” said the director.
The nineteen-minute documentary is currently available for streaming on Mubi.
